12 just goes away” – what a fabulous outlook on life this young man has. Although the family were not really “into horses” Mum and Dad gave into the wants of their young boy, who always wanted to be a cowboy. A Welsh Mountain Pony named Tillie came into Will’s life when he was only 3 years of age. Tillie taught Will a thing or two along the way, being a seasoned child’s pony, she knew all of the tricks. Tillie remains part of the Hupp family today, and has produced Will’s second horse “Slim” a black pony that started off Will’s Western Performance Showing in January 2007. Why Paints? I thought that was an obvious question to ask. The Hupp family raise Polled Hereford cattle and have another property in Boggabri, NSW. Arthur had seen an (unregistered) overo Paint mare on the neighbouring property in Boggabri and decided that he should buy her for Sharons birthday 3 years ago. What a surprise! Wills keen interest in horses also led him to become involved with the neighbours to the family home in Gulgong, Dave and Kathy Henderson. Will had watched Dave & Kathys children riding a Paint Horse and wanted to go and ride it as well. This then extended into sharing fun days with the Henderson children Josh & Meredith. Paint fever had touched the Hupp Family’s hearts and Arthur needed to find a registered Paint Horse to buy. Along came Illoosion, known as “Louie”, now a 4 year old, she was purchased as a 2 Year Old in the process of being broken in. Louie proved to be a successful show horse, winning the 2006 National Show 2 YO Hunter Under Saddle Futurity, 3rd in the 2YO Western Pleasure Futurity and Reserve National Champion 2YO Hunter Under Saddle class. Will loved Louie and wanted a horse just like her. At the Paint Horse National Show in 2006 Will met the full brother to Louie, a weanling gelding named Counthekash. In fact Dennis Sullings who had Kash at the show said that the minute Kash saw Will – he knew that it was love at first sight. Kash chose Will. Will wanted Kash, he would check the Loots Image web page regularly to look at the gelding, then he was so disappointed when Kash was taken off the site. Arthur explained to Will that Kash had probably been sold to someone else and then removed from the website. Will accepted the fact that the gelding had been sold. Unbeknownst to him, Arthur and Aunty Norma had already travelled to Gunnedah and collected the gelding. On the morning of Wills 10th birthday, what should be on the front lawn – the beautiful Paint gelding Counthekash! Dreams do come true. Kash was only a young horse, and Will himself new to Paints, help training Kash came from trainer Wayne Caslick. During the Christmas holidays of 2006 Wayne began training Will The Paint Horse Journal October/November 2007 where there’s a will... and Kash in Led Trail. Their debut was in January 2007 where Kash, along with Wills pony Slim attended the Dubbo Western Performance Club Show. Will & Slim competed in Showmanship and Best Presented, Kash was a little excited about the show however still managed a 2nd ribbon in the Best Head class. Will was determined to improve on his performance and returned with Kash for the February show. He had practiced his Led Trail every day in between shows. The partnership were proud to receive the second place ribbon in Led Trail at that show. A similar result was achieved at the March show under Wayne’s guidance. Next came the National Show. Mum decided that the National Show was not really the place “for a kid to show a horse”, Wayne therefore given the job of showing Kash. Will was just as excited to watch his horse under the guidance of Wayne as he would have been to compete himself. Kash finished National Reserve Champion in both Led Trail and his Gelding Halter class. Not long after the National Show Kash developed a mystery rash on his hindquarters. Remedies were being offered to the Hupps left, right and centre, but nothing seemed to help. The rash spread and effected Kashs mane, the NSW State Show was looming and Kash had next to no mane – certainly not enough to band. What to do? The mane had to be hogged off. Slowly the rash healed, just in time for the NSW State Show – and one less job to do – no banding! Will had practised his Led Trail everyday and Lunge Line most days. He has a modest but effective trail course at home, with a gate, bridge and many other “spooky” obstacles to help teach Kash to be a solid, trained and reliable trail horse. Aside from working together, Will and Kash spend fun time together too. I asked Will what was his favourite thing that Kash can do, to which he replied “Kash gets his black tyre feeder and throws it across the paddock. Not because he is hungry, just because he wants to play. He can throw it 20 feet.” The NSW State Show came around and it was time for the Led Trail class. Ten competitors, all adults except for Will. Staying very focused Will entered the arena. A few had gone before him, each time the judge nodding to indicate that they could start. This time the judge took a second look when he saw such a young competitor in Open competition. This did not deter Will. Kash worked quietly and cleanly through the course, listening to every command that Will would give him – the pair have really bonded over their time together and work as a team. The other competitors and spectators watched intently as the pair completed the course. After the last obstacle was completed a round of applause was heard, everyone knew that Will and Kash had put in the best performance so far. Not another competitor could match the run – awarding from 7th through to first would have been an anxious time, Mum was especially nervous. Then when the time came to announce the State Champion – William Hupp and Counthekash – everyone applauded, it was a wonderful achievement. I asked Will if he was nervous competing at State level against the adults and trainers, to which he replied “I was just a little nervous, so I just pretended I was at the local Dubbo Show. I was really happy with Kash and am very proud of him.” When asked what was his favourite moment “It is really hard to pick out the best, but I can’t wait until next show season. I think the best thing about the shows is that we are all like a big family. I now have lots of “Aunties” and “Uncles” and even an adopted Step-Pop Jack Abbott.” Will has ambitions as well, he is focused on constantly
improving and doing his best “I plan to ride in all of the big shows and excel in everything I try. I want to make an all-around horse out of Kash - Western, Reining, Cutting, English, everything really. I am going to aim for qualifying for the 2012 Youth Team, that will give Kash & I time to learn to do all of those events”. Driving by the Hupps family farm in Gulgong, you can see that determination is a part of the Hupp way. Have a look at the photograph of the sign that greets passing visitors, it says it all. I spoke with Sharon, Wills mother about her rising star. Sharon is rightfully a very proud mother, telling me that her son rarely gets into any mischief and applies himself to whatever he takes on. Not only has Will excelled with his horse, he plays Touch Footy for his school, loves to sing Alan Jackson songs and has represented his school in Zone Cross Country. When he was training for the cross-country he would run everyday with his father, for 8 weeks. Sharon laughed as she told me that she was worried that Arthur would have a heart attack trying to keep up with Will. The family are appreciative of the support that Will has received from his school, neighbours and other competitors at the Horse Shows - especially Chris Burton and Dennis Sullings, Dave & Kathy Henderson, Helen Moran, Kath Peterson & Jeffrey Hall. The family have made a lot of new friends through owning their Paint Horses and look forward to going to future horse shows. So keep a look out for this ambitious young man and don’t be afraid to go and say hello! ✪ ✪ PHAA SCHEDULE OF FEES ✪ Paint Horse Association of Australia - OCTOBER/NOVEMBER 2007 PHAA SCHEDULE OF FEES
